WE TREAT YOUR PUP LIKE OUR OWN
At Front Porch Kennels, we make sure your pet has a chance to be a dog! We take caring for your beloved animal seriously, and if you entrust us with your dog, you will go home with a happy, confident and on Sunday's, a holy pet.
FACILITIES
Front Porch Kennels is a place where you can trust your pet to be safe, happy, and cared for. At FPK, we provide 3,000 square feet of clean, climate controlled indoor play areas and 2,500 square feet of outdoor area. The outdoor area is securely fenced and monitored.







GROOMING
Paul, a certified pet groomer, always makes sure your pup looks and feels their best.
QUALITY CARE
Your pups have their own indoor and outdoor areas. Your pet has their own kennel during meal time and overnight, but the majority of their visit is spent playing and socializing. They are given play time 4-5 times a day. Indoor and outdoor areas are always accessible, so your dog can decide where they wish to be. Water stations are also always available indoors and out and continuously replenished with clean, cool water.

WHAT TYPE OF PUPPIES DO WE BREED?
MALTIPOOS
It's hard to resist their teddy bear faces! Our Maltipoos are first generation meaning their mothers are pure bred toy Poodles and their fathers are pure bed Malteses'. They are hypoallergenic which makes them great for families with allergies. They are super smart and we hear over and over how easy they are to train. Most of our puppies weigh anywhere from 7-10 lbs. They are super affectionate and loving. One of our Maltipoo pups even starred on the hit TV series, "The Walking Dead".








MALTESE
Our Maltese puppies couldn't be cuter. They are CKC registered and weigh 6-8 lbs fully grown. Maltese are known for being gentle and playful. They are great for families with allergies as they don't shed and are considered hypoallergenic. They are super smart and are easily trained.
GOLDENDOODLES
Our precious goldendoodles are super loving. They are smart, loving, and well-tempered companions. Our goldendoodles are first generation. Their mother is an apricot standard poodle and their father is a golden retriever. They will weigh 50-70 lbs fully grown. Their teddy bear faces make them really irresistible and their low shedding coat makes them perfect for families with allergies.








MINIATURE SCHNAUZERS
Our Miniature Schnauzers are super dear to us as we have been breeding them the longest. They have major personality. We breed black and salt and pepper colors. They are CKC registered and weigh about 10-15 lbs fully grown. They are one of the most friendly breeds and also great for families with allergies as they do not shed.

TESTIMONIALS
"Love isn't measured by your size, it's measured by how much happiness you bring to the table. There's just something about coming home and opening the door and having my two Maltipoos greet me with such outstanding love. Honestly there is nothing else that can bring joy to my life like they can. Thank you, Front Porch Kennels."
Margaret H.

"We went out of town for 10 days and entrusted our 4 dogs to Front Porch Kennels. Paul was so kind. He let us come before we booked and showed us the kennels and gave us an estimate for boarding and grooming. He let our dogs stay together (2 dogs per kennel) and took great care of them. He also did a great job grooming them! The price was fantastic too! I will definitely use Front Porch Kennels again!"
Rebecca C.

"I would highly recommend getting a puppy from Front Porch Kennels. I love my puppy. They provide excellent service. He's so smart and you can tell he was loved since birth.
Cagney B.
"We left Bo with Front Porch Kennels and although he was happy to see us...He would have been very content to stay right there and play with all his new friends! So pleased that we found the perfect place to leave him when he can't go with us. Thank you!"
Teri G.
"We would have paid five times the amount Paul charged for Kahleesi. She is by far the best dog we've ever had. She is not only beautiful, but smart and loving. You can tell she was birthed into a nuturing home. We will never go anywhere else to add another puppy to our family."
